no way.i gave the answer earlier.you need to get that chimney off.a bit of re- decor is nothing.Is there no way to access the power source from outside the house ? I mean from the extractor vent , and feed new power cord to it ?
Apologies if I came across a little arch, no offense meant really.It would be much better to correct him as that would be more appreciated.
A box cutter around the mastic and you should have that cover off fairly quickly. There may be sharp edges and exposed wires underneath, so gloves and safe isolation is the go.
Extractor fans that are vented externally normally don't come with the screw on charcoal filters. They use the aluminium filter plates (which I assume are removed and sitting on the bench) to grab the globs and they may have another replaceable filter stretched over them on the inside. Just clean the metal filter plates regularly and replace the other as necessary .Yes no filter, but its just going to extract the air to outside, think no big deal ?
Thanks for the options you mentioned. Its not only the caving issue . Part of the chimney is going through celling and thats another challenge for a bigginer like me . Please see pictures at the top of the thread .The simple and least disruptive is to do what has been advised
You could cut a section of the coving,remove,undo screws,re locate the stupid position that has been chosen for the fuse,refit cover and apply a minuscule of filler to the now unseen cut made in the coving,a touch of paint and it would be has if it had never been disturbed
If however you are set on taking a sledge hammer to crack a nut,the rear bracket could be eased out from the wall, the hood taken off as a whole (unless of course,the person who fitted the hood has done a far superior job fixing the bracket than where the fuse has been located)
